Rev-match worth it

I used to turn it off all the time because I thought it was gimmicky for anyone that knows how to drive a manual properly. Several years later, I find that I love it for daily driving. I'm usually driving boots during the week, and they are a pain to heel-toe (it's more of a fat-foot), so SRM is pretty nice. I turn it off for any performance or spirited driving

Heel-toe isn't the same as rev matching. At all. There's no need to heel-toe in daily driving. Rev matching on the other hand? Absolutely.

Fair enough

... unless you bog the $hit out of every gear like a few people I've seen

Its so worth it. My first 370z was base (See Signature Below). My second 370z that I have now is so much better. The diff is worth it. The brakes are outstanding, the wheels are better looking, wider and bigger, and the RevMatch is amazing (Love the sound it makes when it downshifts).

Get the Sport for sure, you wont regret it.

The rev matching is fun. Disable it when you don't want it, enable it when you do. Personally, I enjoy the effortless downshifting when overtaking on the freeway.

If you've got a good aftermarket exhaust, the second gear downshift when coming to a red light / stop sign sounds like a gunshot.

with all!!!

rev match, wheels, brakes, diff, front chin and rear spoiler are all worth it!

It's very worth it. Forged wheels, Better brakes, and differential are all worth it. Considering it is only like a 3k option it is a no brainer. All of those things would be very expensive to do later! Do it for the differential if nothing else, unless you like one wheel squeals.

The rev match is awesome, you can be lazy as you want with casual driving and never have a jerky shift. On the track I am sure it will improve times for the average guy like me. I have yet to take mine to the mountains but I can only imagine how fun ZDAYZ will be this year coming from a 350. If anything the sport package will help resale value down the road if you ever decide to get something else. It's kind of like buying a 4wd truck, it might be 3k more when new, but 10 years later it will be a lot easier to get rid of the 4wd version.

bobbylight is spot on. The rev match is flawless, even if you change your mind on which gear to go to.
I personally went with the sport pgk for the wheels/brakes/lsd.
Everyone comments on the red calipers and fat **** rear tires

Rev matching is worth it for me. I enjoy it. Use it when down shifting offten. I hardly turn it off.

REV Match is a must on this car in my opinion. Down shifting is so smooth and effortless. I have it on ALWAYS. Once in a blue moon, I turn it off, just to see how horrible I really am making those transitions (downshifts)

like everyone has said the diff and brakes sell it alone. Not to mention the wheels and rev match. definitely worth it.

Well I finally got her!

After driving it most of the weekend, I think that the way that I drive now, especially during this break-in period, that rev matching is something for more aggressive driving. I tend to throw her into N a lot and with the matching on the blips are a little annoying. Maybe as I really start to open her up, I will appreciate this feature.

BTW, all of the other upgrades are great. Those brakes kick a$$.
